Developing Next Generation Services • Strategic goal: – To bring advances in mobile applications and services within the reach of users in their everyday life by innovating and deploying new applications and services based on the evolving capabilities of 3G systems and beyond – Special attention to families � Casual Service Usage: Make Ambient Intelligence controllable by ordinary people • Research Challenge: – To address the multi-dimensional diversity in end-user devices, available networks, interaction modes, applications, and services – To research ambient-awareness , adaptation , semantic interoperability , and their embodiment in novel services and applications that match key use scenarios of end-users’ everyday life 02.08.2004 2

Our Vision “Information and Services at any time, at any place, in any form with any device, “Personalized Information Services”: according to personal news, cinema, concerts, hotels, travel, … preferences” “Personal Information Management”: calendar, contacts, notes, messages, tasks, … “Personal Environment Control”: TV set, VCR/PVR, air conditioning, light, surveillance camera, … 02.08.2004 3
